Nintendo Confirms SNES Classic Edition Pre-Orders Later This Month

A few weeks ago, there was a mistake regarding Super NES Classic Edition preorders. Walmart had a listing and took a number of orders and later canceled them all due to a technical glitch. Now, Nintendo has come forward to confirm that multiple retailers will have Super NES Classic Edition pre-orders in North America this month.

On its Facebook post today, Nintendo confirmed that the console will be made available for pre-order from various retailers late this month. Nintendo did not provide a more specific date, nor did it say which stores would be offering pre-orders.

We appreciate the incredible anticipation that exists for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic…

There have been concerns that, in light of how difficult it was to find the NES Classic Edition, the SNES Classic Edition will face a similar situation. Nintendo again tried to alleviate these worries, stating that “a significant amount of additional systems will be shipped to stores for launch day, and throughout the balance of the calendar year”. Nintendo previously said its current plan is to only offer the system during 2017, adding that it will offer far more SNES Classic Edition units than it did with the NES model.

Where To Preorder The Super Nintendo Classic Edition

Even with promises of an abundant production of systems, we are still unsure if we can get our hands of the new mini. (Hey scalpers, we’re looking at you!). And getting a preorder won’t be easy. Nintendo hardware has gone fast for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3D limited editions. The trick is to know where the preorder pages are before they go live. Here are the page you need to watch out for.

It’s also helpful to have somebody that can give you a heads up. So my advice is to bookmark this article and share it with others so you don’t spend the next few days hitting refresh on a bunch of product pages.
